Publications

The book edited by the Rule of Law and Human Rights Department’s staff and published in June 2013 as the second in the Department’s book series presenting experiences with reforms of criminal procedure legislation in Serbia and in the neighbouring countries.

The Guide was developed by the Regional Aarhus Centre Subotica with the Mission’s assistance in order to address lack of knowledge on the content and rights defined by the Law on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) among the civil society and business community. The bilingual Guide (in Serbian and Hungarian) provides guidelines to the rights for public engagement and other legal requirements related to practical implementation of the Law and is intended primarily for citizens, journalists, CSOs but also for investors and representatives of local authorities.

The publication was compiled by a team of environmental experts under the guidance of NGO “Association for Environmental Policy and Law- Equilibrium, Serbia”. It is meant for the use of the general public and civil society organizations actively involved in environmental issues.

The Green Address Book is a user-friendly manual containing contacts of institutions holding information relevant for the environmental security of communities in Vojvodina when environmental rights are violated. This database contains phone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses and web sites of institutions responsible for environmental protection at municipal, provincial and national levels. The purpose of this guide is to raise public awareness of possibilities for their active engagement in resolving environmental concerns by addressing competent institutions.

Survey conducted by the Media Studies Department, College of Philosophy of the University of Novi Sad, and the OSCE Mission to Serbia. The survey presents the results of the poll of the Chief Editors of Serbian news media outlets.

The book edited by the Rule of Law and Human Rights (ROL/HR) Department’s staff and published in September 2012.

The purpose of the Manual is to assist Aarhus Centre staff and Aarhus stakeholders to effectively integrate a gender perspective into their work. The Manual suggests concrete and practical entry points for integrating a gender perspective into activities related to all three pillars of the Aarhus Convention (access to information, public participation and access to justice), as well as in support of OSCE gender equality principles. These guidelines can be used to effectively promote gender equality in the environmental sector, assisting stakeholders to realize national and international commitments on gender equality and strengthen good governance overall. The OSCE Mission to Serbia supported translation of this Manual into Serbian and its printing.

This multimedia guide, on the code of conduct for local officials in Serbia, was produced by the OSCE Mission to Serbia.

The brochure was produced within the project, "Promotion of environmental activism in Šumadija and South-West Serbia“ and implemented by the Volunteer Centre Kragujevac with the support of the OSCE Mission to Serbia under the Environment and Security (ENVSEC) Initiative.
